California Wines Under Foreign Labels
Some weeks ago a correspondent of the
New York Times, in communication to
that paper, complained that ha unable
to find any Napa county wine IN New York
city, having visited one dealer who was said
to be the agent Of Gustave Niebaum, and
found that hesold nothing but Goulet cham
payne. The frequency of complaints in the
East that California wine is not procurable
except in shape which gives rise to the
suspicion that it is fraud, has led Califor-
mans TO think that perhaps the dealers and
manufacturers here are remiss in making
proper arrangements for placing their prod
ucts on the market.
Speaking upon this subject lately, Chas.
A. Wetmore, ex-State Niticultural officer,
said: As rule the complaints of which
you speak are not well founded | can
safely say that there is not dealer in
wine of any consequence in California
who has not an agency in New York and
other principal Eastern cities. Park x
Tilford of 911 Broadway is agent for Ha-
raszthv; Walden q Co. of 200 South Front
strdet, Philadelphia, are agents for John
ston x Co. of Sacramento; Kohler d Forh-

Horace Webster, Stearn & Rose, VIM. T..
Coleman d Co., the San Gabriel Wine
Company, the Sonoma Wine and Brandy
Company, and many Others ! could men
ton, have agencies in the East OF course
these agents are all wholesalers They
supply the dealers, who sometimes change
the labels and sell the wine as freshly i'm
ported from France. There is plenty Of
wine in the East from California; in fact,
the bulk of the wine sold in liquor stores,
groceries, etc, is California wine, but it is
retailed under French label. There is
no remedy for this state of affairs except
for the manufacturers here to improve
their wine and build up its reputation. At
present French wine has the reputation
and as there is no way of infusing honesty
into the retail dealers, the matter must be
left to adjust itself There is no city in
the East of any size where directory
would not give the names of from one to
ten agents for California wine manufactu-
rers, and as for New York city there are
hundred agencies. | don't suppose, how
ever, that any of them would sell less than
case, and perhaps not as small a quantity
as that"

one finds many objects of interest. Beyond
that portion of the street known as Buena

dences and gardens of wealthy citizens, the
grand aqueduct of San Cosme ends in a
magni6cently sculptured fountain, from
which pours the limpid stream that has
been brought down from the springs of
Chapuitepec. A little further on is the
gate which the Americans stormed, when
they charged into the city down the line of
this aqueduct. Just where the giant
waterway turns abruptly to the eastward,
and stretches out toward the cypress
crowned hight upon which stands the old
castle OF Chapultepec, is that cemetery set
apart for the burial of foreigners. 1t is
known as the American Cemetery"

At the west end of the inclosure, look
ing toward Chapultepec, is lofty shaft of
plain granite, with marble dies. On one
side is inscribed ITO the memory of
the American soldiers who persisted in
this valley in lS47, whose bones, collected
by their country's order, are here buried.u
On the opposite die is engraved: .'Con-

are so forgiying as TO permit such monu-
ment to their defeat and humiliation To
stand forever on the borders of this capi-

might have been generou enough TO content
themselves with the first inscription in
memory of their dead heroes, without

The Enormous Yearly Output of Almost
g. 900. 900 Watches
a French correspondent sends us the
following particulars of the watch trade
of his country by way of experimenting
what Sir John Bennett said the other day
about Swiss watches:
..Besancon, in the old province of
Franche Connie, ~ the center of watch
making in France. In 1877 42S, a54
watches. of which 900, 763 were silver,
passed through the Hall marking estab-
lishment. And those watches represented
an amount of $4,000, 900 francs The
population of Besancon living. upon the
watch industry is To- 900. Besancon pos
sesses school of horology and an obser-
vatory. This last has department used
by watch manufacturers for the purpose
of timing watches. The village of Cluses,
also, whose working population is about
1000, makes watch movements, pinions,
wheels. wheel cutters. keylesS works and
sundry detached pieces, such as barrel
arbors etc. to the value of 800, 900
francs; most of that production is sent to
Switzerland. Cluses possesses also a
school of matchmaking of good repute.
Watch glasses are produced in sufficient
quantities at Trois Fontaines to supply
the whole world. Their value is fixed at
1900. 900 francs.
Last, but not least, comes Paris, the
cradle of such horologists as Thiout, An
tide, Janvier, Leroy, BerthOud, Breguet,
etc. Paris manufactures ship chronome-
tiers. regulators, and turret clocks. finishes
those French clocks So well known here,
the movements of which come from Beau
cort, St. Nicholas, and the making Of
their artistic cases engages great many
workers. Paris alone manufactures
largely clock material, such as anchors,
pinions, main springs, hands, dIals, cleo
trio apparatus finished by watchmakers,
who number about 5000. Paris, besides
delivering to the trade 100000 clocks,

tales, etc, Is the great emporium for the
sale of watches 1t has a school of hor-
olo,sy, which bids fair to become the best

How Stage Snow is Made.

lately heard some curious facts re-
speeding stage snow, as used in the
Paris theatres. Formerly, the head prop
erty man of each theatre caused his sub
ordinates to manufacture it by cutting
white paper into little bits, but of late
wears the papermakers have supplied it in
large sacks, and cut up fine by mechan-
ical chopper. The snow thus prepared is
SO condensed that it has to Sc crumbled
between tine fingers before it can be used.
OF late the theatres that are illuminated
by the electric light have given up the
use of paper snow. as the particles as they
descend are attracted by the flame and
might catch fire; moreover, under the
intense white light it was scarcely visible
and produced no effect. Various substi-
tutes for paper have been tried. Whale
bone shavings did very well and were in
expensive, costing only sixty cents n sack.
But the best Of all possible limitations of
snow is found to be the scraps and clip
pings of kid left over from cutting out
gloves. They float in the air, descending
with very realistic slowness, and they
cling visibly to the garments of the actors.
These clippings are furnished to the Grand
Opera by several of the leading glove
houses of Paris, and cost So a sack

American Magazine.


a correspondent who had been read
ing the anecdotes about Senators in our
last number was an eye witness of the
following occurrence;
AT New York City i'm the fall Of 1856 a
case was tried before Judge Sutherland
in which the law firm of Evarts, South
mayd & Choate appeared for the defense.
Mr.. Evarts made the concluding argu-
ment. and the fame of the great coun-
selor secured for him a considerable au-
dience of lawyers from neighboring
courts, in addition to many persons who
had no interest i'm the proceedings.
Mr.. Evarts had been speaking for
some hours, and was evidently nearing
his peroratiOn. He began to sum up his
arguments, and asked impressively what
answer could be made to them. Again
he placed the points in lucid array, and
again asked a similar question. Then "A
third time he restated his case with vivid
eloquence, and once more, in louder
tones, wound up with:
What is their answer
He paused. You could have heard a
pin drop. Suddenly the door Of the court
room opened, and a peddler, sticking his
head and a feather buster into the room,
cried out
''Brooms!"
In a moment the room was ringing
with uncomfortable laughter, in which
everybody joined-even tine judge on
the bench and the orator himself. Mr..
Evarts, however, kept ON his feet, and
was the first to recover composure.
With his hand raised to command atten-
| ton, as the roar subsidized, he said,

which expected. But you may rest as
sured that when you do get their answer,
you will find it equally frivolous and m
